Remarks

The WebSecurity helper class is the recommended way to manage user (membership) accounts, passwords, and other membership tasks. The SimpleMembershipProvider class can manage membership tasks; however, it is not recommended because WebSecurity provides a simpler way to implement membership. The SimpleMembershipProvider class is intended for developers who require more precise control over the membership process.

In ASP.NET Web Pages sites, you can access the functionality of the SimpleMembershipProvider class by using the Membership property of a web page. You do not (in fact, cannot) initialize a new instance of the SimpleMembershipProvider class.

By design, the SimpleMembershipProvider class does not implement the full range of functionality that is possible in ASP.NET membership providers, as defined in the MembershipProvider class that is used by all ASP.NET membership providers. Some members are available in the class because they are inherited from the base class, but will throw an exception if you access them.

If your website requires the full membership provider capabilities, you can skip initialization of the Web Pages membership system (that is, do not call WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection()) and instead make sure that the standard membership and role providers are enabled. In that case, calls that you make to the SimpleMembershipProvider class are passed through to the standard provider (which is referred to as the previous provider in the SimpleMembershipProvider class documentation). For more information, see Configuring an ASP.NET Application to Use Membership.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
